is there anyway from keeping the block users list from resetting if my computer suddenly and unexpectedly powers off?

8/10/2009 8:13:06 PM

Sorry, HaLo. Read your tone wrong.

A brief summary of changes in 0.4:

* Photo gallery navigation is now optionally bound to the left and right arrows when viewing a photo. You may also click the photo to advance to the next photo.
* Links to YouTube videos are converted to embedded objects playable from the browser window with Wolf Web colors.
* IFRAMEs in posts are automatically converted to links.
* Behind-the-scenes parser work continues. The thread parser now returns an array of User objects, which are used in the blocking methods. Neat!

not dnl: The blocker stores usernames and IDs as a JSON string in your Firefox configuration. There's not much more the script can do. You might want to periodically restart Firefox or something.

If the owners actually gave a shit, they'd probably be pissed that you took a bunch of stuff that would be great premium-only features and gave it to everyone.

agreed

continue plz

8/11/2009 1:35:18 PM

Good call! I am available for contract work.

8/11/2009 2:26:23 PM

anyway to get a search feature for PMs?

8/11/2009 8:15:04 PM

Not really. For the most part, I'm working with only what's on the page already.

8/11/2009 8:30:25 PM

Bump, 'cause this is good stuff.

8/15/2009 8:42:37 PM

Development is on hold while I deal with a project at work.

Idea: Group threads in Classifieds according to common thread prefixes (FF, FS, WTB, etc.).

8/19/2009 1:53:16 PM

great idea!

8/19/2009 8:37:29 PM

Idea: Shorten all the site specific links. i.e. http://brentroad.com/message_topic.aspx?topic=572234&page=6 to message_topic.aspx?topic=572234&page=6

is there any way to force imageshack pictures to show? not sure how it would work, but since pasting the url in a new tab + F5 works, then caches it so that it shows it in posts, I figured there might be a way to automatically do that...

My head hurts, i feel utterly stupid and computer illiterate, and am baffled at the progress made here and amount of true "feedback" within.

The script seems to destroy the Who's Online thread: message_topic.aspx?topic=470078&page=29

As in, very few of the posts appear in proper chronological order.

9/11/2009 4:54:08 AM

cool story bro

Why doesn't the script work for me? I have up-to-date greasemonkey. "Clear blocked user list" option shows up in the greasemonkey menu, but it doesn't have any effect on my tdub experience.

WTF?

9/11/2009 12:07:10 PM

reinstalled script with great success

gg man! you're basically an IT pro now!

9/11/2009 1:59:32 PM

change the color from red to something less obvious [at work]

evan did one a while back but it quit working properly for me

9/15/2009 9:34:38 AM

Like I said earlier: You can do that yourself. Elements' colors are defined in an external stylesheet, but you can specify your own rules in a user style sheet. You're not going to get the result you really want, I bet, but it's better than nothing.

My aim is to enhance the site experience, and changes to the site's appearance that are difficult to implement don't fit in with that.

Take a look at http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html. Firefox profiles have a file called userContent.css that lets you specify how certain page elements appear regardless of what the document itself says.

BESIDES

you probably want it carolina blue or some shit

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN

9/15/2009 10:55:35 AM

i am illiterate when it comes to these things. this is why i asked. i'll look at that link and see if i can figure it out.

also, no, i would prefer gray.

You can bind functions to certain events, including key presses. I don't really want to write all that, though, mostly because I don't want to write the documentation explaining which keyboard shortcuts are available.

The method you're on the cusp of suggesting is the kind of stuff I said I wasn't interested in doing. And honestly, if someone doesn't know better than to hotlink to an ImageShack pic, is it likely to be a pic you're interested in seeing?

9/23/2009 8:39:51 AM

Wouldn't it be possible rewrite what happens when you click the buttons for the text styling? Instead of just putting in the open, you could highlight your text and then clicking the text style would put the open, text, and close for you? Then no need to have it bind to keyboard short cuts, no need for explaining and documenting.

9/23/2009 9:42:38 AM

I need a little help... I'm trying to highlight posts by certain users. If I use:

msg.parent().parent().css("backgroundColor", highlightColor);

10/7/2009 6:55:34 PM

I figured it out. Some of the post_footer rows have TD's with overriding background styles (dark colored cells). This seems to work:

function highlightUsersInThread() {
	userIDsToHighlight.forEach(function(value, index, array){
		$('.post_by_' + value).each(function(){
			$(this).children().css("backgroundColor","lightyellow");
			$(this).children(".post_footer").children().css("backgroundColor",highlightColor);
		});
	});
}

Ok, now that I have gotten the hang of jQuery, many thanks for the greasemonkey script. This is great.

Any script out there for automatically resizing huuuuuuge images or links that cause the page to scroll horizontally?

10/9/2009 10:17:12 AM

You can do it with jQuery (which this script is built on). This works, but it's a little slow. Maybe one of these other guys can figure out a better way...

function shrinkALink() {
	$('a').each(function(){
		href=$(this).attr("href");
		if (href != null) {
			linkText=$(this).text();
			if (href==linkText) {
				if (linkText.length > 49) {
					linkText=linkText.substring(0,23) + "..." + linkText.substring(linkText.length-23,linkText.length);
					$(this).text(linkText);
				}
			}
		}
	});
}

10/9/2009 2:12:40 PM

I'm not sure what all you've included in your script, but if you haven't included the following, would you include it in another update?

- scaleImages (keeps images to a certain size to eliminate side scroll)
- bigPicture (relinks posted tww pictures to make them large (jpg->JPG))
- InsertAtCursor (inserts tags at cursor)
- shortenlonglinks (keeps links short to avoid side scroll)
- TWW Small Image Fixer (relinks tww thumbnails to actual picture)

I've got all these plus a few more, and your script, all running - so I'm not sure if yours already covers some of this. But I thought it would be nice (and cleaner for my user scripts) to have one TWW script that does it all.

10/15/2009 7:42:28 PM

If I had any input into the source, I'd have done some of that stuff already. Note the post above yours as a function to reduce links to a maximum of 50 characters (only if the link text and URL are the same).

"scaleImages (keeps images to a certain size to eliminate side scroll)"

Add a horizontal scrollbar to posts with images wider than the column:

function scrollingPost(theImage) {

	widthLimit=document.width-150;
	theCSS={
		'width':widthLimit,
		'overflow-x':'scroll'
	}

	noScroll={
		'width':'',
		'overflow-x':''
	}

	if (theImage!=null) {
		if (theImage.width()>widthLimit) {
			theImage.closest(".post_message_content").css(theCSS);
		}
	} else {
		$("img").each(function(){
			if ($(this).width()>widthLimit) {
				$(this).closest(".post_message_content").css(theCSS);
			} else if ($(this).css("overflow-x")!="") {
				$(this).closest(".post_message_content").css(noScroll);
			}
		});
	}
}

$("img").bind("load",function(){scrollingPost($(this))});
// this is slow (1-2 sec) if the thread has lots of images
$(window).bind("resize",function(){scrollingPost(null)});

function fixThumbnails() {
	document.body.innerHTML =
		document.body.innerHTML.replace(/(src="photos\/.*?)t\.jpg/ig,"$1.jpg");
}

10/18/2009 8:46:06 PM

^lol. I already have scripts doing all that I described, I would just like to see everything rolled into one package.

as for the image fixers, I believe one relinks *.jpg to *.JPG and the other relinks *t.jpg to *.JPG

I just assumed that one of them makes you post pictures the "right" way and the other one fixes it so that it appears that everyone else posts the "right" way even if they didn't.

10/19/2009 12:21:21 AM

^^ why does the extension capitalization matter?

10/19/2009 5:35:44 PM

^ when posting pictures hosted on TWW, *.jpg shows a linked thumbnail (smal with red border) while *.JPG shows the full-size image

10/20/2009 12:47:28 PM

I'm still enjoying the auto-embed on youtube videos.

So does .jpG, .jPg, or any combination that isn't all lower-case. FYI.
